Play

The blocks were a huge success!

Susan’s son Hugh proved not at all too young for the blocks as I had thought but what do I know about babies. He immediately started to play with them and was particulairly interested in the round ones, that rolled back and forth. He took them out of the box himself, threw them on the floor, put them in his mouth and often had one in each hand. He was happy and I was happy too.

He’s an easy going baby, with very big ears. I called them Budda ears and Susan said they called hem like that in the orphanage as well.

He didn’t build a tower yet, but I’m sure that’ll come with time. However destroying the tower we tried to build gave him great pleasure. He learns new things every day. Since a few days he can stand without support of a chair or a leg and he showed it to me and I snapped the first photo of it. Alison (she knows a lot about babies) told me him standing like that was very early for a baby of not even 9 months. Susan must be proud of him.
